Access and equality in education is a big problem to solve, and I love how Subject is remixing education for high schoolers—creating courses tailored for the YouTube and TikTok generation. Solving for this takes a massive investment, but the payoff is clear: ✅ Increased engagement ✅ Better student satisfaction ✅ Real data-driven outcomes. Subject was one of my first angel investments, and I’ve been obsessed with their mission ever since. Backed by Kleiner Perkins, SoftBank, and Owl Ventures, they’re leading the charge in transforming high school education. This resonates because at Assemble.FYI, we’re focused on doing the same for college students. We’re ensuring that no matter where they are—rural or urban—they can access top-tier learning experiences and industry professionals. Our mission is to provide the pathways to success that today’s students deserve. So here’s a throwback to a conversation I had with Michael Vilardo on the Subject podcast, where we discussed these challenges and how we’re both addressing them. #EdTech #EqualityInEducation #RemoteLearning #CareerPathways #OpportunityForAll

Who knew teaching could be FUN? Started out super nervous, but the real change happened when I ditched the desk and joined the discussions. Sharing ideas while interacting with students made all the difference!

It's been 6 months (already!!!) that I left everything to launch my own startup. It deserves a little throwback on what we have achieved at Cleo Academy over the past 6 months, what I am proud of, and what I have learned: The past 6 months I am proud that: - We trained +60 women in Paris to coding, AI, leadership. - We reunited +20 experts to co-create together tech classes. - We signed 3 partnership with tech unicorns to co-developed and certified tech courses. What I've learned: - A relationship with an associate can be as complicated as a marriage. - Nothing can be as fast as you planned. - Bootstrapping demands exceptional creativity and resilience. - Networking is key: no one want to work with people they don't appreciate. I am proud to be in the pre-launch phase; our website is (finally!) live, and we'll launch the product in the next few weeks. I hope our hard work will pay off! I invite you to discover the website www.cleo.academy and register for the waiting list 🚀

“My staff spends countless hours everyday managing substitute teachers. They keep post-it notes with substitute teacher phone numbers next to their beds, in their cars…in their purses! The confusing spreadsheets we rely on don’t do what we need and force staff to send frantic text messages each day late at night and early in the morning. It is chaos.” - #Houston Area School Administrator As former #educators, the SubSpark team knows firsthand the frustration and stress that come with managing a substitute teacher operation - it’s a nightmare! It’s time we provide school administrators and teachers with 21st century tools that will simplify substitute teacher management. SubSpark is doing just that. Here is where SubSpark stands today: ⭐We have one confirmed beta tester, a Houston area private school that serves Pre-K - 8th grade students. Beta-testing will begin in mid-August 🎉. 💯We are actively engaging with other Houston area public and private schools interested in beta-testing – putting us closer to meeting and potentially exceeding our beta testing goal. 🎉App development is set to wrap up by the end of this month. 🤝We are honored to have Alexandra Resnick as a SubSpark mentor. Alexandra is an incredibly talented Rice MBA Alum who currently serves as a Product Manager at Anheuser-Busch InBev. Thank you for all that you do, Alex! 💪The SubSpark team worked day and night, sticking to deadlines even through Hurricane Beryl and its aftermath. We’re wishing everyone a safe recovery. ❤️🩹 Over the next few weeks we will be developing a formal support structure for our beta testers to ensure they have the resources they need to make the most of beta testing. We are also creating a system for gathering user research during beta testing to further provide the SubSpark team with direction to best meet the schools’ needs. SubSpark is just getting started: we hope you will join us by signing up for our email list via our website and be the first to hear about our official launch 🚀.

🚀 Thrilled to announce: Revyze has secured a $6M seed round! 📚✨ Two years ago, Florent Sciberras, Guillaume Perrot, Anatole Blanc took me on a high school visit to witness the rapid changes in how Gen Z and Gen Alpha engage with learning. This experience was a turning point for me: in a world of rapid change, education also needs to evolve! We've spent the last two years building a platform hand in hand with our community of learners and creators. The journey has not been smooth, after hitting #1 on the App Store in France, our early expansion into the US didn’t go as planned. But we learned, we adapted, and today, we’ve grown 20x in active users with over 1 million students using Revyze to learn better, together. Our students tell us: "I learn better in 2 minutes on Revyze than in hours of class.” This is the impact we strive for—turning scrolling into meaningful learning that’s personalized, gamified (think Duolingo), and social (think TikTok). This funding round, led by Speedinvest and Moonfire, includes support from industry leaders like Ilkka Paananen (Supercell cofounder), Sebastian Knutsson and Riccardo Zacconi (King / Candycrush cofounders), and Nickey Skarstad (Duolingo director of Product). With this investment, we’re excited to accelerate our growth and make learning a daily habit—transforming education into something students love. We’re just getting started! If you’re passionate about redefining education—we’re hiring! (Techcrunch article in comments)
